FROM NOTES: July 6, ’12
Poured from 12 ounce bottle into pint glass
A: Sweet caramel malt and floral hops
A: Amber in color with big tan head and bubbles through out
T: Initially crisp then caramel malts and then a hoppy finish that sticks around
P: Medium body with heavy carbonation
O: Nothing really stands out as exceptional, but it would be a good session beer. Decent beer. I don’t know if anything about it really stands out to me, but it is one that would be a good session beer for most folks.

From bottle. Too much carbonation. Very hard to drink. Had to dump it. Disappointed as I wanted to try this dark beer. Beer actually had foam coming out of the bottle while it sat on a table. Weird.

A standard cheap six-pack in the midwest with slightly more character than, say, Michelob Amber. A bit of an unfair comparison since this beer is more flavorful and "crafty" than your usual gas station and supermarket brew, but that’s more or less the level at which to set expectations for a generic, malty but decently lively brew.

Poured from a bottle into a smaller class at the Courtyard Marriott in Culver City, Calif. About 1 ½ fingers of head. Color was a beautiful reddish brown, maybe mahogany. Good-looking film on the sides. Healthy and long lasting.
Smelled dark chocolate up front. Also some toffee malts, caramel and a little biscuit. Seemed pretty fake.
Initially tasted butter, which drops each time I have it. Where did it come from? Some chocolate and caramel in there as well.
Medium body. Average carbonation. Creamy texture. Smooth finish.
Pretty average beer. Stay away.
